RoCM Playlist: 22 June 2024 (RE-AIR)

So the bad news is that the flu has managed to take out two out of three of my household members this past week. I got a new show about 80% completed before I had to abandon it for other priorities. Everyone is recovering or recovered, but I just ran out of time – so this week is a re-air of the show from about a year ago. Happy summer, everyone.

The good news is that The Return of CoolMojo is on the air for the Summer 2024 KCSB-FM programming schedule (same jazz time), with next week marking our 4th anniversary. Kind of crazy that this thing started as a way to occupy my time through the pandemic and here we are four years later. Time is a flat circle.

Here’s the playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
